House of Representatives places three bills on Appropriations Calendar after first readings
Summary
The House of Representatives conducted first readings of House File 2792, HF 2793 and HF 2794 and placed all three on the Appropriations Calendar. The brief session ended after a voice vote to adjourn until Thursday, April 30 at 8:30 a.m.
The House of Representatives conducted first readings of three bills and placed each on the Appropriations Calendar during a brief session. A motion to adjourn until Thursday, April 30, at 8:30 a.m. was then made and carried by voice vote.
The clerk read House File 2792, described in the transcript as "a bill for an act relating to and making appropriations for the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund, Technology Reinvestment Fund, and Renewable Fuel Infrastructure Fund," and noting related provisions including financial assistance eligibility for regional sports authority districts and the Department of Health and Human Services information technology system. The clerk announced the bill’s first reading and that it was ready for commitment and amendment and placed on the Appropriations Calendar.
House File 2793 was next; the clerk read it as "a bill for an act related to railway tracks, overpasses, and underpass fund, and providing appropriations." The bill received its first reading and was placed on the Appropriations Calendar.
The clerk then read House File 2794, recorded in the transcript as establishing a grant fund for a nonprofit and relating to assault forensic examination centers. The transcript shows portions of that reading redacted (represented in the record by asterisks); the clerk announced the bill’s first reading and placement on the Appropriations Calendar.
The session closed on a procedural motion. The transcript records a motion to adjourn until Thursday, April 30, at 8:30 a.m., which was decided by a voice vote in which the presiding officer said, "The ayes do have it." The transcript does not specify the individual who made the adjournment motion.
Placement on the Appropriations Calendar does not itself appropriate funds or adopt policy; it sets the bills up for future committee consideration, amendment and scheduling by the chamber’s appropriations process. No final passage or committee action on the bills is recorded in this transcript.
